Laurel Bank School Glasgow - 1952 Who's Who

Laurel Bank School for girls was opened near Glasgow University in 1903 by two Scottish women graduates. For the half-centenary celebrations in 1953 a history of the school was published, including this 'Who's Who' of old girls, compiled by Mrs Christine White. The names are listed alphabetically by surname and christian name (in capitals), with married surnames in brackets; dates at school; degrees or awards; career, and war service (War); children (Ch.); grandchildren (G.ch.); present occupation (Occ.); and address. We have indexed this on both maiden and married surnames.

The Original Record website has some truly extraordinary records, though takes a bit of getting used to and can be quite pricey. It has some really rare collections though, and plenty of Scottish material within its ten million records, so well worth checking out.
